Answer:by 2
Step-by-step explanation:
x - y = - 11 .............( 1 )
y + 7 = - 2x ...............( 2 )
from equation ( 1 )
x - y = - 11
x = -11 + y ...........( 3)
putting x in equation ( 2 )
y + 7 = - 2 x
y + 7 = -2 ( -11 + y ) y + 7 = 22 - 2 y y + 2 y =22 - 7
3 y = 15 y = 15 / 3
putting value of y in equation 3
x = -11+ ( 13 /5 ) x = -33 /3 + 15 / 3 ( l.c.m)
x = -17 / 5
check
x = -11 + y
- 17 / 5 = -11 + 13 / 5
-17 /5 = -17 / 5

Answer:
2000 L
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 1250 L of water in a tank at present. If the tank is 0.625 full, what is the capacity of the tank?
The simple solution is:
1250 L ÷ 0.625 = 2000 L
The algebraic solution is:
Let <em>c</em> equal the capacity of the tank.
Therefore, <em>c</em> × 0.625 = 1250.
Divide both sides by 0.625:
<em>c</em> × 0.625 ÷ 0.625 = 1250 ÷ 0.625
And simplify:
<em>c</em> = 1250 ÷ 0.625
<em>c</em> = 2000
